Greatest time of the year.

Why?

Weather is generally miserable. Shortest days. Over-consumption, overspending, tacky decorations and consumer crap everywhere (with associated waste). Annoying shite music in all the shops. Drunken idiots everywhere.

A mid-winter party is a good idea, but it should be much shorter and occur around the 21st, i.e. a real event with actual meaning - Winter Solstice

Er, I think you'll find the anniversary of the birth of our lord and saviour Jesus Christ is a real event with actual meaning thank you very much.

I've returned to living in a house-share scenario this year.  Mine happens to be the back bedroom, next to the bathroom.  My housemate is already blasting Christmas 'hits' on the stereo whilst she's in there 

LOVE Christmas period

Starts December 1st for me tho

I do enjoy it though...I'm fortunate enough to be employed in a job that allows me the week off without leave, and it's a good opportunity to get together with family and friends for a sustained period.  For me, it begins shortly after the 10th though

[liversaint]

Xmas songs all over the radio now, FFS.

Oh and mince pies. just. fucking. awful pieces of devil spunk.

[BlackandWhitePaul]

I love Mince Pies me.  Just saying.

[MrGrumpy]

I had a mince pie at work which was nice and having taken the family to Oxford Street last weekend, I will not need to step foot in that hell hole for another few months. So far Christmas is going well, what a shame the tight ****s I work for decided to cancel the Christmas party this year.

[WillG.LFC]

Should be december 1st, christmas isn't in november

Some people wish it could be Christmas every day.

[QR350]

Community centre near my house already has a big fuck-off sign saying Merry Christmas. In bright neon lights no less. 

[Pistolero]

Greatest time of the year.

Agreed. Love it....but loathe the c*nts who try to start it too early...TV ads/shops/radio DJ's/dickhead neighbours etc

[El Denzel Pepito]

Christmas tree is going up for me and my missus today.

[damomad]

I thought that would have been ideal! Our place are having a talent competition

They have to change the song then to the 31 days of Christmas.

To me it starts about the 23rd and ends the 28th.

[Sudden Death Draft Loser]

To me it starts about the 23rd and ends the 28th.

Family pressures force me to start around about the 23rd, usually manage to finish around about the 27th. Still far too long.

Hoorah !

[kesey]

My favourite month by the way in the not so accurate Gregorian calander is January..  I fuckin love that month..

Why ?

Because Christmas is over !!!!!

[kesey]

Not only thats its over. You can see the days getting longer by a few minutes a day .. the buds start to bud .. theres also different birds singing in the morning.

Its purely a psychological boost for me.

And....if I didn't already mention  Christmas is over too .

[AndyMuller]

Christmas tree is going up for me and my missus today.

Why? It's only the 24th of November!

[El Denzel Pepito]

Haha, me and my missus are going back to our families for Christmas around the 16th of December till January, so we thought we'd put it up slightly earlier so we can actually get to enjoy a bit of it together.

Saying that, she wanted to put the tree up a couple of weeks ago... I had to talk her into some sense, mad!

Haha fair enough mate!

Mines going up 12 days before as usual, I hate taking it down though such a hassle after everything's over!

I work with a nice bunch and last years Christmas party was a pleasant affair.

[Red Raw]

Have to say I was slightly disappointed last week that Greggs felt the need to apologise over their version of the Nativity.

Mind you, pretty sure Greggs would be offended if they knew how RAWK reacted to the desecration of their doorways.

Is the King in blue eyeing up that tasty partially eaten sausage roll Rooney by any chance?

[CraigDS]

Did they bring gifts of Ketchup?

What if....Wayne Rooney IS the sausage roll. Mind blown.

Drove past the Amazon depot in Trafford Park earlier, there was a massive queue of wagons waiting to go in. You can tell its nearly Christmas.

[BlackandWhitePaul]

Has everyone got their tree / decorations up?

I'm going to wait another week yet.

[Upinsmoke]

No deccies up yet. Getting a real tree this year, think it's getting delivered tomorrow so will probably throw them up some time next week.

[rob1966]

Put all the lights up on the outside of the house yesterday, missus had put some stuff up before her trip. I put the tree up but only threw a few lights on it. missus will do it properly when she gets home.

[Andy Hunter]

Liverpool badge on top of the tree as per since 2004.
